We do have power over men. Especially the majority that do respect boundaries. We can make them awkward. Embarrass them. Manipulate them. Sometimes wreck their families for us. Because of social expectations, we can shame them just by earning more money.

The whole idea seems to have no basis in empirical evidence, & no falsifiability thru it. It's just a narrative that's placed on top of observed reality, with no actual predictions to test.

The workplace is one thing. Physical strength is another thing. But in most social settings (where civility and rules are respected), in a way, it's women that run the show. The problem is men who don't follow the rules. (Usually because they fail playing fairly).
